Review of 2022’s toy pattern releases!

Feb 6, 2023 | Blog, Customer Feedback, FFF News, NEW Toy Patterns

So much fun stuff happened with the Funky Friends in 2022 here at the Funky Friends Factory. We had NEW toy patterns, NEW teddy bear patterns, UPDATED toy patterns and a free ADD-ON pattern for a toy-sized flat cap too. Here is a review so you can check if you missed anything!

 

 

The New Funky Friends from 2022:

Let’s begin with Buttons the BEST DRESSED Bear. I’ve designed a NEW teddy bear sewing pattern for sewing memory bears! Buttons the BEST DRESSED teddy bear pattern has built-in shirt & pants (trousers) details and a felt waist coat. He’s conveniently sized to fit an adult collared shirt – a perfect “grandpa” or “dad” bear.

AND last but not least…

 

FREE Flat Cap Pattern ADD-ON:

I think this has been the most asked for add-on ever! I had no idea a flat cap was so popular!

    That’s a funny question, “Which pattern do I like best?” I seem to be hooked on most of your patterns. I’ve made at least 10+ and have fallen in love with them all. Lots of materials in my stash are now getting used. funny how the ugliest materials make the cutest little guys. I still have a lot of patterns I want to get! When asked “Why are you making these?” I reply, “Because I want to.” makes me laugh!
